Coda and EKRAF Open New Global Pathways for Indonesian Game Developers

This collaboration equips local creative talent with the monetization infrastructure, networks, and market access needed to compete globally.

JAKARTA, Indonesia, June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Coda, a global leader in digital commerce, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Indonesia's Ministry of Creative Economy/Creative Economy Agency (EKRAF) aimed at accelerating the growth of Indonesia's gaming ecosystem.

Through the partnership, EKRAF and Coda will work together to equip Indonesian game developers with the knowledge, tools, and commercial capabilities needed to scale their businesses, reach global audiences, and compete internationally. The collaboration reflects a shared commitment to strengthening Indonesia's position as a leading hub for game development and digital creativity.

The MoU builds on the existing collaboration between Coda and EKRAF. With EKRAF's endorsement, these efforts have ranged from enhancing the capabilities of more than 70 local developers through the Global Game Jam Pre-Workshop in Jakarta, Indonesia to expanding the international reach of Indonesian-made games through Codashop, Coda's marketplace for in-game and digital content purchases. Beyond supporting developers, Coda and EKRAF will continue to promote digital literacy and safer online gaming experiences through initiatives such as the "Guard Your Game" campaign, which helps players identify and avoid online scams.

The initiative aligns with the Government's vision of developing a commercially driven, resilient, and internationally competitive gaming industry that can showcase Indonesian talent on the global stage.

Empowering the Next-Generation of Game Creators

Coda CEO Shane Happach said, "Indonesia is home to a vibrant and fast-growing community of game developers. While creative talent is abundant, building a successful games business requires access to the right infrastructure, networks, and commercial opportunities. Through this partnership with EKRAF, we want to help more developers navigate that journey. By expanding access to the tools, expertise, and connections needed to grow, we hope to help more Indonesian studios build sustainable businesses and reach players around the world."

"Coda was founded in Indonesia, and we remain deeply committed to the country's digital and creative economy. We are proud to partner with EKRAF to help the next generation of Indonesian developers build globally competitive businesses and succeed in international markets."

Seizing Opportunities in a Rapidly Expanding Market^[1]

Indonesia's gaming industry generated more than USD 1.1 billion in revenue in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 1.5 billion by 2030, according to Niko Partners. As the market grows, the way players discover and purchase content is changing. Across Southeast Asia, 38% of mobile game revenue now comes from out-of-app payments, up from 21% just two years ago. Consumer behavior is shifting alongside it, with digital wallets used by 55% of paying mobile gamers and carrier billing used by nearly one in four. These trends highlight the growing importance of localized payment and commerce solutions that help publishers reach more players and unlock new revenue opportunities.

Through its collaboration with EKRAF, Coda aims to help Indonesian developers capitalize on these opportunities by providing the tools, expertise, and infrastructure needed to grow their businesses and reach audiences both at home and abroad.

Irene Umar, Deputy Minister of Creative Economy/Deputy Head of the Creative Economy Agency, said this collaboration is a reflection of the Indonesian Government's commitment to supporting the growth of the national gaming industry, while reinforcing the shared commitment between the public and private sectors to build a globally competitive gaming ecosystem.

"The collaboration between Coda, Ekraf, and game developers across Indonesia is beyond a memorandum of understanding signed on paper. It is a formal step that demonstrates the seriousness and commitment between the Government and industry players like Coda."

"For every game developer here, Indonesia is not just a country with a vast player range or a promising target market. Through strengthening this ecosystem, we want to prove that we are capable not only of winning world championships as players, but also of commanding the global market as world-class creators."

Looking ahead, Coda and EKRAF will explore additional initiatives to support the sustainable growth of Indonesia's digital creative industry. Together, the two organizations aim to help Indonesian creators access global opportunities while supporting the long-term growth, resilience and competitiveness of Indonesia's gaming industry.

Coda and EKRAF Open New Global Pathways for Indonesian Game Developers

PETALING JAYA, Malaysia, June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Malaysian mobile operator Tune Talk redefined the standard how child online safety is enforced. As governments work to regulate safety across multiple platforms and applications, Tune Talk is bringing enforcement to a single point, the network through the launch of Epik+ Family Safe, the world's first family mobile plan with integrated one-tap parental control enforced entirely at the point of connectivity.

Built on Tune Talk's cloud-native network and enabled in collaboration with Nokia, Epik+ Family Safe moves enforcement to the point where digital access begins. With a single tap, parents can activate one of three protection levels and restrict access across up to 56 content categories, helping manage children's access to social media and other online content through the connectivity layer itself.

"Mobile connectivity has become a child's gateway to the internet, and we believe safety should begin there. With Epik+ Family Safe, Tune Talk is showing how a Malaysia-built innovation offers a new global blueprint for telcos. Our ambition is to demonstrate a practical implementation model that challenges how the industry thinks about connectivity and inspires a broader conversation on how child online safety can be delivered," said Gurtaj Singh Padda, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Tune Talk.

This infrastructure pivot aligns with a growing global consensus: child's online safety cannot be managed solely at the edge of the experience. While governments worldwide are setting the direction for child online safety, the gap between policy and everyday enforcement continues to widen. Tune Talk's Epik+ Family Safe closes that gap, offering a tangible solution that works seamlessly in day-to-day family environments.

While Epik+ Family Safe is launching exclusively in Malaysia, Tune Talk believes the initiative demonstrates how telecommunications infrastructure can become part of the online safety ecosystem, offering a practical implementation model as policymakers around the world continue exploring new approaches to protecting children online.

Epik+ Family Safe is available as a dedicated 1 Parent + 1 Child prepaid mobile plan featuring integrated network-level parental controls, 700GB of high-speed data, and personal accident insurance coverage of up to USD125,000.*

The company said it hopes the launch will encourage broader industry discussion on how connectivity providers can complement existing regulation, platform safeguards and parental responsibility by making online safety easier to implement in everyday family life.
